Character background

Tracey is Michael's and Amanda's teenage daughter, and Jimmy's younger sister. She does not have a good relationship with anyone in her family, as she and Jimmy often trade insults each other, and she and her mother have an argument over a boyfriend. She claims to hate Michael for ruining her chances at becoming famous.

Despite her young age, Tracey frequently parties and is sexually promiscuous. Tracey is obsessed with becoming famous and will do anything to reach that goal, including having sex with a producer. She is a fan of the reality talent show Fame or Shame, and she attempts to audition for the show by doing a sexually provocative dance; however, her father and Trevor Philipsstop her from humiliating herself.

As Michael improves relations with his entire family, he comes around to the idea of Tracey becoming an entertainer and shakes down Lazlow Jones (a second time) to get her back on Fame or Shame. A successful performance on that show turns her into a minor celebrity, so much that Michael has to kill a middle-aged cyberstalker who met Tracey at an autograph signing. In The Time's Come, Michael gets a phone call from Amanda telling him Tracey has decided to go to college.
